4 Days Choquequirao Trekking

We will depart from your hotel in Cusco at 5:00 am, crossing the majestic Andes until we arrive at Capuliyoc around 8:30 am to enjoy a delicious breakfast. Then, we will continue on the same bus to San Pedro de Cachora, a journey of approximately 3 hours. From Capuliyoc, we will begin our exciting trek with a 4-hour descent to the picturesque area of Chiquiska, where lunch awaits us. On this stretch, you will enjoy the first views of the deep Apurimac Canyon.

After lunch, we will continue for two more hours until we reach Santa Rosa (2230 mts), where we will set up our camp for the night.

"After a delicious breakfast, get ready to live one of the most exciting days of our adventure. We will ascend to the top of the mountain, reaching Marampata (3000 m.a.s.l.), where a second breakfast awaits us to recharge our batteries. Then, we will climb for two more hours to the mystical lost city of Choquequirao (3350 m.a.s.l.), where we will enjoy lunch and have the opportunity to rest and contemplate a beautiful sunset from our comfortable tents.

This ancient Inca city, built in the cloud forest and abandoned during the conquest of Peru, may have been a crucial control point to access Vilcabamba, the last Inca capital in the 16th century. Our camp is strategically located next to this fascinating archaeological site, giving us the freedom to explore these enigmatic places at our own pace and relax whenever we wish."

Wake up with a comforting cup of coffee or coca tea, delighting yourself with the most spectacular sunrise in this magical place. The day will begin at 6:30 am. We will descend for 3 hours until we reach Santa Rosa (2230 m.a.s.l.), where we will enjoy lunch after breakfast. Then, we will continue the descent for 2 additional hours, until we reach the last camp at Chiquiska (1800 m.a.s.l.). This day provides the perfect opportunity to immerse ourselves in the surrounding landscape, with hundreds of flowers, birds and waterfalls in the distance.

On the last day, start early with a delicious breakfast with your expedition team. The day's activities begin at 7 am for the last leg of the trip. Prepare for the final 4-hour hike uphill to Capuliyoc. From this point, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the archaeological Inca city of Choquequirao, the Apurimac River Canyon and the majestic snow-capped mountain of Padreyoc, acclaimed as one of the most spectacular in South America. At the end of this unforgettable journey, say goodbye to our dedicated trekking team that accompanied you on this expedition. Then, take the private transportation that will take you back to Cusco.
